SECTION 013200 - CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULES AND REPORTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY: A. This Section includes administrative and procedural requirements for documenting the

progress of construction during performance of the Work, including the following: 1. Preliminary construction progress schedule. 2. Construction progress schedule. 3. Schedule of Submittals. 4. Schedule of values. 5. Construction progress reports. 6. Daily construction reports. 7. Equipment and Material location reports. 8. Field condition reports. 9. Special reports.

B. Related Work Specified Elsewhere: 1. For submitting and distributing meeting and conference minutes: SECTION 013105 -

PROJECT COORDINATION AND MEETINGS. 2. For submitting schedules and reports: SECTION 013305 - SUBMITTALS.

1.02 DEFINITIONS: A. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float available in the schedule, at any time shall not be considered for the exclusive use of either the Engineer or the Contractor. During the course of contract execution, any float generated due to the efficiencies of either party is not for the sole use of the party generating the float; rather it is a shared commodity to be reasonably used by either party. A schedule showing work completing in less time than the Contract time, and accepted by the Engineer, will be considered to have Project Float. Project Float will be a resource available to both the Engineer and the Contractor. No time extensions will be granted nor delay damages paid unless a delay occurs which impacts the Project's critical path, consumes all available float or contingency time, and extends the work beyond the Contract Completion Date. Contractor shall not use artificial activity durations, preferential logic, or other devices for sequestering float. Engineer retains the right to reject any schedule submittal in which Contractor has sequestered float.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting an intermediate deadline or the planned Contract completion date.

B. Milestone: A key or critical point in time for reference or measurement. A milestone has no duration.

C. Time Scaled Logic Diagram: A bar chart diagram of a network schedule, showing activities and activity relationships.

D. Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower, quantities or equipment necessary for the completion of an activity as scheduled.

E. Activity Percent Complete – Physical percent compete of an activity as determined by a consensus of a subjective evaluation between contactor and Engineer

The status date of the schedule and activity progress therein will coincide with the progress payments requested in the Application for Payment. Receipt of the Schedule by Engineer shall be a condition precedent to processing and paying Applications for Payment.

6. Engineer intends to use Primavera P6 software for the integrated project schedule. Other scheduling software or manual methods used by Contractor to produce required information shall require approval by Engineer. All schedules prepared with Primavera P6 software shall be configured to calculate data as follows:

Overview: The following procedure is for vendors, suppliers, or contractors who will be issuing submittals to Burns & McDonnell (BMcD). If you have questions about uploading submittals, please email or call your BMcD contact. It is a step by step guide on:

• Login options o Logging in o Resetting the Password o Forgotten Passwords

• Preparing and Delivering a Submittal o Creating a Submittal o Notification of Receipt

• Picking up a Reviewed or Rejected Submittal o Notification of Completed/Rejected Documents o Download of Completed/Rejected Documents




Logging In: Log into BMcD WebTools at http://webtools.burnsmcd.com using the username and password sent to you by Burns and McDonnell’s IT support group.

Note: Accounts are user specific. Do not share the username and password. Others who wish to access the system should request a separate account.

Previously you were not able to change the password you received, but now it can be reset after using the initial password from BMcD. After changing the password it cannot be changed again for 24 hours. Previously used passwords cannot be used again. The Domain is BMCDEXT and should preface your username. To Login: The Domain is BMCDEXT\and should be typed in before the user name. Example: BMcDext\[user ID] so the information would be BMcDEXT\ext_jdoe.

a. You may change your password by checking the box for I want to change my password after logging on.

b. If you forgot your password you can have a new password sent to you by clicking the “Forgot your password?”

Click on Install to load the ActiveX Add-On. Note: Some companies prohibit the install of an ActiveX Add-On. If this is the case for your system administrators please contact your BMcD representative.

After installing the Active X component, the window is now ready for files to be drag and dropped directly into the grid part of the window.




2. Select the files from your system and drag them into the window.

One of two options may be used in the Create Submittal window: • Drag and drop a File • Use the Add Folder or Add Files buttons in the Document Submittal window.

A vendor transmittal number will be assigned to the Submittal upon receipt. If preferred, a transmittal may be created and added to the list of files as a separate document. Please check with your project team for specific submittal needs. The Filename, client name, and project number will be pre-populated in the Create

Submittal window. Before dragging the files into the window make sure they follow the file naming requirements.

Filename should be the same as the Drawing Name or Document Number. Do not include the following in the filenames:

a. Revision b. Dates c. Transmittal Information

Note: If the document is being resubmitted then the filename must match EXACTLY with the previous submittal name.

Valid filename examples: A07-9877-8-1.pdf, M-114-1-par.pdf, A-347-wps.pdf, 18555-18 ASME calcs.pdf, Terminal Point List.pdf




Description is required and should relate to the document title from the title block of the

drawing. Valid description include: General Arrangements, Weld Procedures, Code Calcs, Terminal Point List, Wiring Diagram – Analyzer.

Revision should be the actual revision from the document title block. If the document does not have a revision enter a dash/hyphen (-).

Items with an * in the column name are required. Items that do not include the * may still be required by your project. Please fill in as much detail as possible unless directed otherwise by your BMCD Document Control contact. Note: Columns in the window may be resized as needed. If a drop down list is supplied then only those values may be selected. To narrow a list of items or if a value is known, it may be typed or the copy/paste option may be used into the drop down.

81799_014200 014200-1

SECTION 014200 - DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY: A. Definitions:

1. Basic contract definitions used in the Contract Documents are defined in Attachment A – Commercial Terms and Conditions of the Contract. Definitions and explanations are not necessarily either complete or exclusive, but are general for the Work.

2. General Requirements are the provisions or requirements of DIVISION 1 Sections, and which apply to the entire Work of the Contract.

B. Related Information Specified Elsewhere: Specification standards and associations applicable to the Work are specified in each Section.

1.02 SPECIFICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT EXPLANATIONS: A. Specification Format: The Specifications are organized into Divisions and Sections based on

the Construction Specifications Institute's (CSI) Section Format and MasterFormat numbering system. Some portions may not fully comply and no particular significance will be attached to such compliance or noncompliance. 1. Divisions and Sections: For convenience, a basic unit of Specification text is a "Section,"

each unit of which is numbered and named. These are organized with related Sections, into "Divisions," which are recognized as the present industry consensus on uniform organization and sequencing of Specifications. The Section title is not intended to limit meaning or content of Section, nor to be fully descriptive of requirements specified therein, nor to be an integral part of text.

2. Section Numbering: Used for identification and to facilitate cross-references in Contract Documents. Sections are placed in numeric sequence; however, numbering sequence is not complete, and listing of Sections in Table of Contents at beginning of the Project Manual must be consulted to determine numbers and names of Specification Sections in these Contract Documents.

3. Page Numbering: Numbered independently for each Section. Section number is shown with page number at bottom of each page, to facilitate location of text.

4. Parts: Each Section of Specifications generally has been subdivided into three basic "parts" for uniformity and convenience (PART 1 - GENERAL, PART 2 - PRODUCTS, and PART 3 - EXECUTION). These "Parts" do not limit the meaning of text within. Some Sections may not contain all three "Parts" when some are not applicable, or may contain more than three "Parts" to add clarity to organization of Section.

5. Underscoring of Titles: Used strictly to assist reader of Specification in scanning text for key words in content. No emphasis on or relative importance is intended except where underscoring may be used in body of text to emphasize a duty, critical requirement, or similar situation.

6. Project Identification: Project file number and identification are recorded at bottom of each page of Specifications to minimize possible misuse of Specifications, or confusion with other Project Specifications.

B. Specification Content: 1. These Specifications apply certain conventions in the use of language and the intended

meaning of certain terms, words, and phrases when used in particular situations or circumstances. These conventions are explained as follows: a. Imperative and Streamlined Language: These Specifications are written in

imperative and abbreviated form. This imperative language of the technical

SECTION 014200 - DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS: continued

014200-2 81799_014200

Sections is directed at the Contractor, unless specifically noted otherwise. Incomplete sentences shall be completed by inserting "shall," "the Contractor shall," and "shall be," and similar mandatory phrases by inference in the same manner as they are applied to notes on the Drawings. The words "shall be" shall be supplied by inference where a colon (:) is used within sentences or phrases. Except as worded to the contrary, fulfill (perform) all indicated requirements whether stated imperatively or otherwise.

b. Specifying Methods: The techniques or methods of specifying requirements varies throughout text, and may include "prescriptive," "compliance with standards," "performance," "proprietary," or a combination of these. The method used for specifying one unit of Work has no bearing on requirements for another unit of Work.

c. Overlapping and Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more industry standards or sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or requirements establishes different or conflicting minimums or levels of quality, notify Engineer in writing for a decision, which Engineer will render in writing within a reasonable time.

d. Abbreviations: Throughout the Contract Documents are abbreviations implying words and meanings which shall be appropriately interpreted. Specific abbreviations have been established, principally for lengthy technical terminology and in conjunction with coordination of Specification requirements with notations on Drawings and in schedules. These are normally defined at first instance of use. Organizational and association names and titles of general standards are also abbreviated.

C. Assignment of Specialists: In certain instances, Specification text requires that specific Work be assigned to specialists in the operations to be performed. These specialists shall be engaged for performance of those units of Work, and assignments are requirements over which Contractor has no choice or option. These assignments shall not be confused with, and are not intended to interfere with, enforcement of building codes and similar regulations governing the Work, local trade and union jurisdictions, and similar conventions. Nevertheless, final responsibility for fulfillment of Contract requirements remains with Contractor.

D. Trades: Except as otherwise specified or indicated, the use of titles such as "carpentry" in Specification text, implies neither that the Work must be performed by an accredited or unionized tradesperson of corresponding generic name (such as "carpenter"), nor that specified requirements apply exclusively to work by tradespersons of that corresponding generic name.

1.03 DRAWING SYMBOLS: A. Except as otherwise indicated, graphic symbols used on Drawings are those symbols

recognized in the construction industry for purposes indicated. Refer instances of uncertainty to Engineer for clarification.

1.04 INDUSTRY STANDARDS: A. Applicability of Standards: Except where the Contract Documents include more stringent

requirements, applicable construction industry standards have the same force and effect as if bound or copied directly into the Contract Documents. Such standards are made a part of the Contract Documents by reference and are stated in each Section. 1. Referenced standards, referenced directly in Contract Documents or by governing

regulations, have precedence over nonreferenced standards which are recognized in industry for applicability to the Work.

SECTION 014200 - DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS: continued

81799_014200 014200-3

2. Where compliance with an industry standard is required, the latest standard in effect at time of opening Bids shall govern.

3. Where an applicable code or standard has been revised and reissued after the effective date of the Contract and before performance of Work affected by the revision, Engineer will decide whether to issue a Change Order to proceed with the revised standard.

4. In every instance the quantity or quality level shown or specified shall be the minimum to be provided or performed. The actual installation may comply exactly, within specified tolerances, with the minimum quantity or quality specified, or it may exceed that minimum within reasonable limits. In complying with these requirements, indicated numeric values are minimum or maximum values, as noted, or appropriate for the context of the requirements. Refer instances of uncertainty to Engineer for a decision before proceeding.

5. Each entity engaged in construction on the Project is required to be familiar with industry standards applicable to that entity's construction activity. Copies of applicable standards are not bound with the Contract Documents. a. Where copies of standards are needed for performance of a required construction

activity, Contractor shall obtain copies directly from the publication source. B. Abbreviations and Names: Trade association names and titles of general standards are

frequently abbreviated. Where such acronyms or abbreviations are used in the Specifications or other Contract Documents, they mean the recognized name of the trade association, standards generating organization, authority having jurisdiction, or other entity applicable to the context of the text provision.
